“Then why are you opening it like it’s going to attack you?” She tried and failed to keep the laughter out of her voice.
Normally, he loved her sense of humor. She could find fun in anything but not when she was torturing him. “Why did you do this to me?” He looked at her. “I’m a good guy. I pay you well.”
“They’re vegetables, not poison.” She rolled her eyes at him.
“I hate tomatoes.”
“There are no tomatoes on there even though I can’t understand how anyone can hate tomatoes.” She sighed pulling one from her sandwich and biting into it. “They are so yummy and good for you.”
The look of pure satisfaction on her face made the blood rush to his cock. He wanted her looking at him like that after he made her come or better yet, when she had his dick in her mouth. Shit. She had him wanting to be a fucking tomato.
“But it’s fine if you don’t like them. To each his own and all that.” She waved her sandwich at him. “I had them add extra green peppers. You like those.”
He almost groaned as she pulled another tomato from her sandwich and licked the mayonnaise off it. Merri snorted.
He tore his gaze away from Alison and gave Merri a quick “shut up” look. “I do like green peppers but why is there so much lettuce. I didn’t order a salad.”
“You should’ve,” Alison muttered around a bite of her sandwich.
“I may as well have. I can barely see the meat. This is not double meat. I like double meat.”
“Meat isn’t good for you, especially deli meat. It’s full of nitrates, fat and sodium.”
“There’s no cheese.” He picked at the vegetables.
“Your cholesterol.” Alison turned toward Merri. “Does he know nothing about health?”
“He’s a man. Men think they can continue to eat like they’re in their twenties and they’re too stubborn to listen to good advice…about a lot of things.” Merri gave him an exasperated look before glancing at Alison.
“I know about health and I don’t have high cholesterol. Why do you think I do?” Talking to Alison was like mental calisthenics.
“You said you were going to have a heart attack.” Alison took a big bite of her sandwich, trying to look innocent.
“I never…” He was going to strangle her. “I said that because you make me crazy and you’re going to give me a heart attack, not because I have high cholesterol.” He snatched her bag of chips.
“Hey, those are mine.”
“You should’ve gotten me chips instead of these.” He tossed the apples at her.
“I’m not the one complaining about my blood pressure and my heart.” She threw the apples across the desk, smacking him in the chest. “Give me back my chips.”
“No”—he leaned forward and dumped them in the middle of the table—"but I’ll share.”
“They’re my chips,” she huffed as she took one. “You have apples.”
“I’ll share those too.” He opened the bag and dropped them in the middle of the table next to the chips. “And I’ll forgive you for the shitty sandwich.” He closed it and took a bite.
“I’m not apologizing.” She sent him a challenging look. “You should be thanking me. Vegetables are good for you.”
“So is squashing impertinence.” He frowned at her. “But we can talk about that later. Now, let’s hear how the facial recognition enhancement is going with my software.” He stressed the word “my” because it annoyed the shit out of her. He loved watching her bristle and struggle to keep from arguing with him. He was pretty sure that one day she was going to go off like a hot tea kettle.
She’d spent countless hours writing this code. It was more hers than his, except he owned it. He’d leverage that possessiveness of hers to get what he wanted.
She was young, in good health, extremely intelligent and for some reason his cock wanted her like it hadn’t wanted anyone since he’d been a horny teenager. He’d weighed all the pros and cons and had decided that she was the perfect woman to bear his child.
CHAPTER 2: Alison
Alison finished giving Merri and Harker the update on her progress. She was proud of this. This program was hers. She’d taken the shell from a previous programmer and had expanded on it, making it unique.
